UAD Powered Plug-Ins - 156 - Precision Equalizer
Power Switch The Power Switch determines whether the plugin is active.
This is useful for comparing the processed settings to that
of the original signal, or to bypass the plugin to reduce the
UAD DSP load.
Click the rocker switch to change the Power state. Alter-
nately, you can click the blue UA logo to toggle the Power
state.
Band Controls
Each control set (L and R) has four EQ bands. Two bands are overlapping low
frequency bands labeled L1 and L2, and two bands are overlapping high fre-
quency bands labeled H1 and H2.
Each of the four bands has a control for bandwidth, enable, frequency, and
gain. All four of the EQ bands can be used in parametric or shelf mode. The
controls are exactly the same for each band; only the available frequency val-
ues differ.
Bandwidth Knob The Bandwidth (Q) knob defines the proportion of frequencies surrounding
the band center frequency to be affected by the band gain control.
The numbers represent the filter slope in dB per octave. The available selec-
tions are 4, 6, 9, 14, 20, and Shelf.
When set to Shelf on the L1 and L2 bands, the band becomes a low shelving
filter. When set to Shelf on the H1 and H2 bands, the band becomes a high
shelving filter.
Band Enable
Button
Each band can be individually engaged with the
Enable button. All bands default to disabled.
When a band is enabled, the button glows blue.
To enable a band, click the Enable button or
move the band Gain knob.
You can use these buttons to compare the band
settings to that of the original signal, or to bypass
the individual band. UAD DSP usage is slightly
decreased when a band is disabled.
